	Title		: Bootstrap Router (BSR) Mechanism for PIM
	Author(s)	: B. Fenner

	Pages		: 37

This document specifies the Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism
     for the class of multicast routing protocols in the PIM
     (Protocol Independent Multicast protocol) family that use the
     concept of a Rendezvous Point as a means for receivers to
     discover the sources that send to a particular multicast
     group.  BSR is one way that a multicast router can learn the
     set of group-to-RP mappings required in order to function.
     The mechanism is dynamic, largely self-configuring, and robust
     to router failure.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
